Danger Mouse and The Shins' James Mercer are back as Broken Bells, with their first new song since 2015 "Shelter".
The last we heard of Broken Bells was their 2015 single "It's That Talk Again".
"Shelter" arrives as the first single to be released from the reuniting duo, who are yet to follow up their 2014 album After the Disco.
Since then Mercer has been busy with The Shins' past two albums The Worm's Heart and Heartworms, while Danger Mouse has produced Parquet Courts' Wide Awake!, and contributed to the soundtrack for Baby Driver with a Run The Jewels and Big Boi feature.
"Shelter" is out now on 30th Century Records via AWAL.
